Are you interested in architecture, design, or engineering, or even the medical field? The process of design is used in many careers! Come find ways you can use this information in your future. In Drafting & Design Animation 10, we look at how the process of design works and how it is implemented from a designer’s perspective. You will learn how to create, build, design and prototype. Learn how to use industry standard equipment like 3D printers, CNC machines, laser engravers, VR immersion, and much more!
DRAFTING 11
DRAFTING 11
COURSE CODE: MTDRF11
FOUNDATION COURSE: DRAFTING & DESIGN ANIMATION 10
Lets continue building your design skills you learned in Drafting & Design Animation 10. Let us forget the rules and see what you can create! Have you ever said to yourself, “I can make that?” Then, let’s get you started on the right path to making it happen. Dream it, design it, build it, and test it. This course will further expand the world of design with more complicated and specialized tasks and projects. For example, students will design their dream home or invent a new product and have it 3D printed or CNC machined. Furthermore, students will learn how to use industry standard software such as Fusion 360, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, and more. Drafting & Design Animation 10 is recommended but not required!
ELECTRONICS AND ROBOTICS 10
ELECTRONICS AND ROBOTICS 10
COURSE CODE: MTEAR10

Using a variety of resources and software, including CAD and CAM Apps, 3D Printing, CNC Manufacturing, Micro: Bit, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi Development boards. Students will complete a series of projects to learn the fundamentals of circuits and block-based and/or scripted programming to design and manufacture robots to solve tasks.
Content Areas: Electrical theory, production of circuits, electric diagnostic testing, CAD (Computer Aided Design), CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture), robot design, robot elements programming platforms.
ENGINEERING 11
ENGINEERING 11
COURSE CODE: MENR-11
What does an engineer do? Could I make a six-figure salary? What would I do if I were an engineer? The grade 11 course develops skills, attitudes and theories developed in earlier grades. Engineering 11 is an applied theory class where students are presented with a design problem and asked to develop potential solutions using scientific & engineering principles. Students will need to work together to solve challenges and create unique solutions. Learn how to demonstrate teamwork and initiative in this collaborative class. Students will use the design process to develop upon their ideas. Student’s projects may include how machines work; product design, furniture construction, and a passion project of the students’ choosing. There are no prerequisites for this course but it is recommended to have taken a grade 10 level ADST couse. For example: Woodwork 10, Power Tech 10, Electronics 10, 3D Design & Architecure 10 or Technology Explorations 10.
FOUNDATIONS IN TRADES 11
FOUNDATIONS IN TRADES 11
COURSE CODE: MSTX-1A
Students learn trades and technology skills and earn credit towards secondary school graduation. This course allows students to explore trades or technology careers. Trades covered include Electrical, Plumbing, and Carpentry and may also include one or more of Joinery, Drafting, Painting, Welding and Steel-stud and T-Bar ceiling (lathing). This course is an excellent introduction to the apprenticeship training program and offered in conjunction with the Ministry of Education and the Industry Training Authority (ITA). The ITA awards provincial credentials (Certificates of Qualification and Red Seal Designation). There are no prerequisites for this course.
POWER TECHNOLOGY 10
POWER TECHNOLOGY 10
COURSE CODE: MTPOW10
This course will help students understand how power is related to energy and motion. Students will learn and develop a skill set for hands-on processes while designing and building. Some of the topics covered in this course include flight technology, simple and complex machines, alternate sources of fuel and power, metalwork and fabrication, welding, and small engines.

WOODWORK 10
WOODWORK 10
COURSE CODE: MWWK-10
This introductory course teaches you the basics of woodwork and design. Our projects are designed for you to succeed. In the process of building each project you will develop skills and experience using machinery and hand tools. We will also provide you with experience using modern machinery such as CNC machines. Once you have a good understanding of these skills you will be given the time to design your own item and build it.
WOODWORK 11
WOODWORK 11
COURSE CODE: MWWK-11
FOUNDTION COURSE: WOODWORK 10
The second level of woodwork is designed to further develop skills and experience using machinery and hand tools. You will be using modern machinery such as CNC machines, traditional machinery, and hand tools. Our projects are designed to improve your woodworking skills and add new techniques.

FISHING AND ENVIRONMENT 11
FISHING AND ENVIRONMENT 11
COURSE CODE: YLRA-1F
This new course is designed for those interested in fishing, fly fishing or taking care of the environment. You will study the relationship between fish and the world. Learning is divided between the classroom and the outdoors. Regular field trips to local natural places make theory and written assignments alive, literally. This course teaches you how to fish, how to take care of the environment so you can continue to go fishing, and you get to learn how to fish for different species. You will have a chance to make your own flies or lures and even fishing nets. A suggested fee may be required for certain activities like camping, special build projects, or acquiring your boating/fishing license. Safety and sustainability will always be the priority. We will explore fishing and sustainability in local areas such as the Coquitlam and Fraser River.
